"The purpose of the SMART program "is to use peer pressure to solve the problem"

The secret police in Communist societies use this technique very effectively. Brings to mind the Stasi of East Germany and KBG in Soviet Russia.

We also use the peer pressure technique here in our town - it is called democracy. We have town meetings where people debate and try to convince one another to adopt their view of an issue, including whether or not to fund the police.

No such a luxury was afforded to the citizens under Soviet rule. Please inform yourself about life in Soviet Russia before bandying the cliches about.
